Abstract
This research aims to examine the connection between physical activity, mental health, and quality of life through a systematic review of scholarly literature. The approach used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), leveraging the Scopus database, employing a keyword search strategy relevant to the topic, and following PRISMA guidelines. Articles published from 2020 to 2024 that focus on physical activity and mental health within Q1-Q2 percentile indices were screened. Out of the 89 articles identified, 28 met the inclusion criteria and were relevant to the topic. The analysis of these studies reveals that increased physical activity is associated with a reduction in symptoms of depression and anxiety, and an improvement in mental well-being and quality of life. Additionally, the study notes variations in measurement methods, such as the use of accelerometers and different mental health questionnaires. These findings support the development of evidence-based interventions to enhance mental well-being through physical activity, especially among children, adolescents, and the elderly. However, the study identifies challenges related to measurement methods and intervention duration, indicating a need for further research to develop more comprehensive and practical recommendations.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG01A8S8T6

Abstract
Background and Study Aim. Physical Education not only develops physical aspects but also critical thinking, reasoning skills, and affective aspects, including social skills and personal traits like caring and cooperation. The study aims to examine the effect of physical activity, interpersonal intelligence, and emotional intelligence on the academic achievement of Physical Education Elementary School Students.
Materials and Methods. The research uses a quantitative, correlational approach. The study population consisted of 102 elementary school students aged 9-12 years (54 males, 48 females). The physical activity instrument used was the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C). The interpersonal intelligence instrument was adapted from the Anderson Social Insight, Social Sensitivity, and Social Communication dimensions. The emotional intelligence instrument was the “Emotional Quotient Inventory: Young Version (EQ-i: YV). The statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) version 21 software. The level of statistical significance was set at p-value <0.05.
Results. The results showed that: (1) physical activity has a significant effect on the physical education academic achievement of elementary school students (p-value 0.006 <0.05). (2) Interpersonal intelligence has a significant effect on the academic achievement of physical education elementary school students, (p-value 0.000 <0.05). (3) Emotional Intelligence has a significant effect on physical education academic achievement of elementary school students, (p-value 0.005 < 0.05).
Conclusions. In particular, learners who exercise show greater intrapersonal and emotional intelligence, adaptability, and mood compared to those who do not exercise in an organized way. Physical education teachers are expected to assign physical activities for students to complete at home under parental supervision, with the results reported to the teacher for an additional assignment grade.

Pamuji Sukoco et al. – Assessment of basic locomotor movement skills of elementary school students using TGMD-2 –  Fizjoterapia Polska 2024; 24(4); 265-270

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG01A8J7L9

Abstract
Introduction. Basic movement is the foundation of human behavior and helps young children to learn new skills in other areas. A child can actively move and exercise if they have basic movement skills. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the real condition of children’s movement skills, especially lower grade elementary school children. This can be used as a reference to prevent undesirable outcomes, such as the onset of obesity in children. Method. This study is a Pre-experimental design conducted to assess basic movement abilities in learning activities of eight locomotor movements, namely walking, running, hopping, jumping, galloping, sliding, skipping, and leaping by means of observation through motion observation instruments using the Gross Motor Development 2 (TGMD-2) Test approach.The subjects of this study were 42 students from Pilahan public elementary school, including 14 students from grade 1, 14 from grade 2, and 14 from grade 3. Results. The research found that among the 42 lower grade students of Pilahan State Elementary School, 12 students scored below average, 14 students scored moderately, and 16 students scored above average. Conclusion. Thus, it is expected that this data can be used as a basis for evaluating students who have not scored above average. This data is also expected to serve as a reference for further research on the issue of lower grade elementary school students with below-average basic movement skills.

Abstract
Sports culture among Malaysia Population still lacking and the percentage of inactive people still high and increase since year 2018. The aim of this study is to determine the level and influence of motivation towards physical activities based on gender and age groups. The researchers employed a survey design involving 7,015 respondents aged 13 years and above. Sampling selection across Malaysia was facilitated by Department of Statistic Malaysia based on block calculation and residence area from 13 states and 3 Federal Territories. The researcher employed the Multistage Cluster sampling random strategy by combining the cluster sampling procedure with stratified random sampling. A questionnaire designed by IYRES with high validity (r = 0.95) and reliability (r = .96) employed for data collection. A total of 190 trained enumerators collects the data manually. The findings of the analysis through an independent sample t-test showed that mean score for Males (M = 31.94, SD = 10.70) and for females (M = 29.84, SD = 10.82). p = .000, is significant. The results showed that there were significant differences in the mean of motivation towards physical activity participation between male and female respondents. Comparison by age group using One-way ANOVA showed that there were significant differences in the motivation of involvement in physical activity between the age groups, p = 0.000. Group pre-youth (M = 30.39, SD = 9.56), youth (M = 32.78, SD = 10.06), post youth (M = 30.72, SD = 11.06) and senior citizen 60 years and above (M = 26.76, SD = 10.72). This outcome proves that age does influence motivational factors in physical activity participation. The motivation level among youth is the highest and the elderly above 60 years old the lowest. Motivational factors are influenced by gender and age group in complex ways. Women tend to be more motivated by intrinsic factors such as job satisfaction, relationships, and personal growth, while men often lean towards extrinsic rewards. Younger individuals may be more driven by extrinsic rewards such as prizes, recognition, free gifts and performance achievements. Overall, psychological factors play a critical role in shaping individuals’ attitudes, beliefs, motivations, and behaviors regarding physical activity. By addressing psychological barriers and leveraging motivational strategies, interventions can effectively promote participation in exercise and support individuals in adopting healthier and more active lifestyles.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG5608C3D

Abstract
Background. Menopause is defined as the endless cessation of period caused by a reduction of ovarian follicular exertion. During this period women may experience hot flashes, sweating, sleep issues, heart discomforts, vertigo, fatigue, headache, frequent urination, weak pelvic floor muscles (PFM), muscular and joint pain, emotional insecurity, depression. Exercise and other physical activities can help relieve menopausal symptoms (MPS) and improve PFM function in premenopausal women. Among these activities, pilates is a safe technique to improve one’s physical and psychological performance.
Aim. To find out the effect of tele- based modified Pilates on menopausal symptoms and pelvic floor muscle dysfunction in pre- menopausal women.
Methodology. Women were screened for menopausal symptoms and pelvic floor distress using Menopausal Rating Scale (MRS) and Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI). Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, subjects were allocated randomly into 2 groups as Group A – Control (CG) and Group B – Experimental (EG). Subjects in both the groups have been assessed with MRS and PFDI along with Transverse Abdominis (TrA) and PFM strength. Subjects in the CG followed aerobics exercise – walking for 8 weeks. Subjects in the EG followed TMPE as a group session for 40 minutes. Both the groups were assessed during the first session and final session after 8 weeks.
Result. TMPE group has shown significant improvement in reducing MPS and pelvic floor distress. It was noted that TMPE had shown improvement in PFM and TrA muscle strength than control group.
Conclusion. Pilates group had shown improvement in MPS and it reduces pelvic floor distress symptoms coupled with PFM and TrA muscle strength improvement.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG2EF8ZsV

Abstract
Background and Study Aim. Obesity is a metabolic disease characterised by excessive fat accumulation. Indonesia ranks second after Singapore with the largest number of obese adolescents. The study aimed to assess the impact of physical activity, eating behavior, and sleep quality on Body Mass Index (BMI) in adolescents.
Materials and Methods. This study was quantitative, with an ex post facto design. The study included 231 students (136 males, 95 females) aged 16-19 years, each with a Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 25.1. Participants were healthy and consented to the study by completing a screening questionnaire. The analysis was performed using regression techniques in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 software.
Results. The selected regression model is feasible and demonstrates that physical activity, diet, and sleep quality collectively influence students’ BMI (p-value < 0.001).  Furthermore, the analysis shows that physical activity (p-value < 0.001), diet (p-value = 0.019), and sleep quality (p-value < 0.001) independently affect students’ BMI.
Conclusions. We suggest that schools need to hold counseling programs in collaboration with relevant health workers to conduct counseling with the prevention of malnutrition, especially obesity. Provide additional tasks in the form of physical activity that students must do at home with parental supervision and the results will be reported to the teacher as an additional task value. Parents should also provide supervision of eating behavior and sleep patterns. For future researchers to be able to reveal other variables that can affect student BMI, because our report found only 49.90%.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG2EF8A10

Abstract
This study aims to determine the relationship of living habits during the new normal period with (1) body composition and (2) blood oxygen levels after cycling while wearing a mask. This research is a multicenter study between Indonesia and Malaysia, with the data presented here being specifically from the DI Yogyakarta region in Indonesia, involving an analytical observational study using a cross-sectional approach. The study included 71 research subjects. The instruments used to collect data were fitness behavior during the pandemic (exercise frequency and duration), anthropometric and oxygen saturation measurement after cycling during pandemic. Body composition was determined using the BMI formula, involving height and weight. Oxygen saturation during cycling was measured using the Pulse Oximeter FOX-1(N) by Elitech Technovision. The largest percentage of cycling is twice a week (42.25%), followed by three, one, fifth and fourth times a week. The majority of participants cycled for 120 minutes (35.21%), followed by durations of 180 minutes, 60 minutes, 30 minutes, and so on. Oxygen saturation data shows that most subjects have oxygen saturation of 98% (47.8% of respondents), none of them have 100%, but 97% saturation, 96% occupying the second and third distributions. From the primary data obtained in Indonesia, only oxygen saturation and cycling duration showed a highly significant relationship (p = 0.009), while other variables, such as BMI and cycling frequency, did not exhibit a significant correlation. It can be concluded that a significant relationship exists between exercise duration, specifically cycling, and oxygen saturation in Indonesian subjects.

Bafirman HB, Asep Sujana Wahyuri, Fiky Zarya, Muhamad Ichsan Sabillah, Faza Annasai. Fizjoterapia Polska 2023; 23(4); 226-232

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20A4D3

Abstract
In post-COVID-19 pandemic conditions, students are not engaging in physical activity both at school and at home, leading to a decline in the quality of students’ physical fitness. The objective of this study is to enhance the physical fitness of students by implementing a well-structured, accurate, consistent, and quantifiable physical exercise program, while also monitoring sports activities undertaken by students. This research employs a pseudo-experimental pre-test post-test design. The study sample consisted of 117 students. The selection technique utilized is purposive sampling. The instrument for assessing physical fitness is the Indonesian Physical Freshness Test (TKJI). The data analysis technique employs paired sample t-tests. The findings reveal a significant effect of the sports activity program on students’ physical fitness, with an average physical fitness score increase of 13% for Junior High School 01, 11% for Junior High School 39, 9% for Junior High School 14, and 5% for Junior High School 24. This is corroborated by t-test results using a paired sample t-test, with a t-value of −3.754 and a significance value of p = 0.001 (p < 0.05). Based on these results, it can be concluded that the implementation of sports activity programs in various junior high schools in the city of Padang significantly improves students’ physical fitness in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era.

Nourhan Mohamed Abdelaziz Hussien, Hussein Gamal Hussein Mogahed, Mohamed Gamil Abdelmoneim, Karim Ibrahim Saafan – Dry needling versus muscle energy technique on shoulder adhesive capsulitis post mastectomy. Fizjoterapia Polska 2023; 23(4); 128-133

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20ADEC

Abstract
Objectives. To compare the effect of dry needling and muscle energy technique on adhesive capsulitis post mastectomy.
Design. A single-blinded randomized clinical study.
Setting. Outpatient setting.
Subjects. Fifty female patients diagnosed with shoulder adhesive capsulitis post mastectomy, ranging in age from 30 to 60 years, were randomly assigned to two groups. Participants in Group A were administered dry needling treatment, plus a traditional physical therapy program in the form of shoulder joint mobilization, shoulder muscle stretching, and ROM exercise; Group B received muscle energy technique, plus a traditional physical therapy program in the form of shoulder joint mobilization, shoulder muscle stretching, and ROM exercise.
Intervention. Two sessions per week over five weeks.
Outcome measures. Shoulder range of motion, pressure pain threshold, and shoulder dysfunction were measured pre-treatment and post-treatment.
Results. There was no statistically significant difference observed in the age distribution between the groups (p > 0.05). Following the treatment, there was a notable rise in the pressure pain threshold and a considerable decline in shoulder dysfunction when compared to the pre-treatment condition (p < 0.001). There was a notable rise in the ranges of shoulder flexion, abduction, and external rotation after the treatment when compared to before the treatment in both group A and B (p > 0.001). The percentage of change in flexion, abduction, and external rotation in group A was 125.03%, 76.43%, and 58.72%, respectively. In contrast, group B exhibited percentage changes of 137.48%, 97.51%, and 68.78% in flexion, abduction, and external rotation, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference seen between the groups prior to treatment, as shown by a p-value greater than 0.05. The analysis of the data after treatment demonstrated a statistically significant rise in the pressure pain threshold for group A in comparison to group B (p < 0.001). However, there was no significant disparity observed in shoulder dysfunction between the two groups (p > 0.05). Following the treatment, there was a notable rise in the range of motion (ROM) for flexion, extension, and abduction in group B when compared to group A (p < 0.001).
Conclusion. Application of either dry needling or muscle energy technique results in a notable enhancement in the severity of symptoms in adhesive capsulitis post mastectomy, with superiority for dry needling.

Monika Gałczyk, Anna Zalewska, Aneta Mierzejewska – Assessment of dyspnoea and physical activity levels among Poles living in Poland and the United Kingdom in the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic – a pilot study. Fizjoterapia Polska 2023; 23(4); 6-17

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20A753

Abstract
Objectives. The aim of this study was to assess the extent of dyspnoea and the relationship between dyspnoea and physical activity among Poles living in Poland and the United Kingdom (UK) in the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods. The pilot study was conducted in January 2023. The study authors received 200 questionnaires from respondents aged 18-69 years (104 from Poland and 96 from the UK). The level of dyspnoea was assessed using the Medical Research Council Dyspnoea Scale (MRC) questionnaire. Level of physical activity was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Results. In the majority of cases, dyspnoea occurred only during heavy physical exertion and increased with age and more cases of COVID-19. A trend towards increasing dyspnoea with decreasing MET scores for moderate physical activity was observed. Respondents’ country of residence was not correlated with dyspnoea level. Conclusions. The introduction of regular physical activity may have an impact on reducing dyspnoea. Dyspnoea is a factor that influences the reduction of physical activity and leads to a change to a sedentary lifestyle.
